Two Stroke Oil VS Carbon Deposits

lpracing77 · Feb 7, 2003

What two stroke premix oils leave very little deposits and which one's should not be used with bikes with "power valves", has anyone had good "clean" results with any perticular oil and which oils should we stay away from to keep these valve working properly.

A recommendation to all is the new Mobil 1 synthetic 2 stroke oil. I suffered from spooge on my '94 KDX with every brand I've tried (spectro, bel-ray, maxima (and other decent brands)), but not with the Mobil 1 (All at 40:1). My friend Bob told me about it after becoming spooge-less on his KTM 300. It is $2.99 per pint at Auto Zone, so it is cheaper than most brands that aren't even synthetic. BTW, I've never had more than minimal deposits with any brand. As long as you are jetted properly, today's oils are all pretty good.

I've tried all the major brands over the years and Amsoil runs cleanest by far. Stay away from oils like Maxima castor 927, etc. Major deposits.

I've tried yamalube -don't like it- i just found out about AMS oil 2000 Race seires fully synethic. I'm going to have my KIPS cleaned and i'll see what the yamalube has done

Thanks guys,
I will look into the Synthetic oil route. Mobile 1 maybe a good choice because of availability. No matter where you are you can find a place that sells Mobile 1. I do love the smell of castor oil and still use it in my CCM's but haven’t used it in a two stroke since the seventies. Dose any one else have input? Thanks - Lloyd

I would have to third this comment. The S2000 is great stuff.

Maxima full synthetic is great at 40 to 1. Relatively inexpensive from Rocky Mountain and others.

Klotz Supertechni plate fully synthetic with castor oil.

My experience:

Cleanest: Motul 800, followed by Silkolene, then Mobil and Maxima M

Dirtiest: Klotz (by far), Maxima 927

Best aroma (the most important consideration since even the dirtiest is not that bad): Klotz

The winner: Klotz

You have to replace the piston / rings ANYWAY well before things get junked up. Does anybody agree with me here?

Do you guys run the amsoil s2000 at 50:1 or at 40:1?

I run at 40:1, but I rejetted for this ratio. Everything is nice and clean so far.

Be careful of what you say Mr. Jackson. Race gas is a very volitale(sp) subject, no pun intended. :laugh:

Ahhhh......the misconceptions. Did you know most race fuel is leaded? Thats how they get the higher octane numbers.

Tom Ludolff · Feb 19, 2003

The only full synthetic 2-stroke oil I've been able to find close to home is Bel-Ray H1R. Has anyone had any experience with this stuff???

Yes I did. I run 100 octane all the time in mine. Too many people have told me that I am wasting my money on race gas, since you won't notice it unless you are running a milled head and high compression.

Rrrriigghhtt........(in Dr. Evil tone) :laugh: :laugh:
